    Well the Dodgers do have a good track record of getting return from Brewers RP Castoffs.

    Maybe all of the "innovative"/creative things he did early in his career don't really have a positive impact when looking at it from a straight numbers perspective. Maybe his vanilla managing this year is that they don't think the other approaches give them any added improvement. I really doubt he's not trying or bored after 9 years. If anything Craig works well with the analytics from the front office so it would be really odd that he's gone rogue this year.

    Josh seems to have control issues. His bad Jul/Aug he is walking a batter per inning. He isn't locating nearly as well and maybe even taking something off to make sure he can hit the strike zone and those balls are getting hit harder than in the past as his soft% is low compared to his previous periods of elite pitching. When he can start locating his pitches better I think he will begin to have better success, but as long as he's struggling to find the strike zones hitters are going to lay off pitches or make him pay when they know he has to throw a strike.

    The Brewers have been playing sub .500 ball since June or more than 2.5 months. Hader was fine (elite often) for half of that time, so not sure we can put anything mostly on Hader for that extended period of poor performance or even during the time he was struggling. Is anyone going to argue with you? It's kinda like saying "I'd argue that the world isn't flat, but round", or "I'd argue that the earth circles the sun and not the other way around". Maybe its not that settled, but I think most people are thinking what the Padres did was really stupid. If they make the playoffs and have a few series wins then it might be viewed differently, but what they did is really a WS win or bust move and it's not looking good now. Not sure why we are bashing a Nightengale tweet about trading for Trevor Rosenthal. Whether you think Nightengale is a boob (I do), what part of what he tweeted is inaccurate? That the Brewers had a bad trade deadline for 2022? That they've actually lost that many games (did he count the record wrong)? That losing % is worse than the sub-500 play for 2+ months. That the Brewers were attempting to improve their bullpen after trading the best closer in baseball? Maybe, but if the Brewers thought they had addressed their bullpen issues within the Hader trade, why trade for Bush or Rosenthal? Were the Brewers 6 games out of 1st when he tweeted?

    Josh Hader pitches and hundreds of GM hopefuls polish their resumes. AJ Preller, Dead Man Walking...

    I'm just guessing that every World Series winner has had a losing streak the year they won plus the year before, and the year before that, and the year after and the year after that. Basically all teams go through difficult stretches in a 162-game-marathon. I'm guessing based on the analogy and usage that the OP never ran a marathon, or maybe even got off the couch.

    Yep, plus it isn't Adames fault his manager puts him #2 in the lineup every every every every every day. That .290 OBP can't be hurting the offense because we just need more solo HR anyways. Runners just make force outs and double plays easier.

    Gee I thought left-handed starters were rare, but it seems like every team has at least 2 to face the Brewers, or do they know how bad this team can be against left-handed pitching and stack the rotation for the series with the Brewers. Either way it could be another brutal game. Prove me wrong BREWERS!

    +1 Billion! They all are the same type of hitter because the 2 headed Hitting Coaches monster is molding them into the same hitter. At this point I would be much happier if the team didn't have any Hitting Coach.

    Google and Facebook are worth Bajillions of dollars partly because they have access to very granular data on the people that use their services. No decent company/organization uses averages for anything these days because it tells you so little and is so easily available because there is NO value in the information. The only use is for PR because the general public is still 2-3 decades behind in understanding what's important. As an example of the progression of data "needs" by companies is TV viewership. In the ancient history of 1970/1980s TV viewership was the big thing. Then they realized that who was spending the most money was more important for advertisers than having 10 people with no disposable income watching so the demographics began to rule the advertisers and now with streaming on trackable platforms they know so much about each viewers behavior because that information is where the true value lies. The other issue I have with averages is that it really is based on an assumption that the activity being measured has noise that is random so just averaging out the data gets rid of the noise. Baseball isn't all random, there is signal that is being lost in the averaging. Sure the Brewers offense is just fine if you look at runs scored, but having Tellez and Renfroe as the 2 best hitters tells you a lot more about that offense than the average. It tells me they need 2-3 additional better hitters because if your 2 best hitters are Tellez and Renfroe, your offense stinks.

    I really have to stop thinking these bad thoughts. Was I the only one thinking Happ will take Williams deep before they started?
  13. NBBrewFan
    I hate the runner at 2B extra inning crap. Or at least make them go 2-3 innings before adding a runner at 1st, then 2nd. It's like penalty kicks in soccer without an overtime.

    The Brewers Steve Austin will win it! or not.
  15. NBBrewFan
    Padres back up by 6 so the Brewers need to win to not lose ground.

    Leiter and Hughes were part of the relievers that brought the Brewers back in the 3rd game of the last series in Chicago. Hughes did his part, now Leiter can do his.

    Pitching letting us down once again! CAN'T THEY THROW NO-HITTERS!

    For the love of god...................................... This isn't CRICKET Hunter!

    Taylor Rogers repertoire is really impressive. Takes him only 20 pitches to get all of the AAAA Cubs hitters out.
  21. NBBrewFan
    Does anybody think this team has a winning streak in them?
  22. NBBrewFan
    If Counsell is trying to get fired then why don't the Brewers oblige him? If he's not then he should be fired anyways. Managers don't really make much of an impact, but my god the head scratchers this year are too numerous to count.
  23. NBBrewFan
    I think Jesus was last spotted in Nashville, or was that his brother Aaron Rodgers?
  24. NBBrewFan
    The Brewers are math challenged.
  25. NBBrewFan
    Brewers pitchers miss their spot and it's right down the middle. Cubs throw right down the middle and Brewers hitters swing and miss.
